Rating:  Summary: A bit of a loss for sensuality. Review: Expected something a little more intimate a little more to do with the senses. Sex has more to do with envolvement than just "getting him off". Paget has great enthusiasm for her subject, and affection for her friends and students, but this is a strange mix of detailed and very vague advice.
I definitely would recommend the book: "Sex and Perfect lover by Mabel Iam" to anyone looking for sex advice and sex guide to become a perfect lover.
Rating:  Summary: PRETTY GOOD Review: A LOT OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK I ALREADY KNEW BUT THERE WERE A FEW HELPFUL IDEAS. THE "GIVE HIM A HAND" PART WAS ESPECIALLY HELPFUL FOR ME.
Rating:  Summary: Hey Guys! Review: I haven't read this book. I gave it to my girlfriend as a gift after reading the overwhelmingly positive reviews here at Amazon.
I met my gfriend about 14 months ago. How shall I put this? I think I might have once gone to bed with a dead fish that exhibited more bedroom spirit than this woman. She's a young (mid-30s) widow who didn't have much experience aside from her husband, and he was obviously not very demanding.
I spent a year with this woman, being very patient and offering guidance in a gentle manner, with only limited results. It's not that she wasn't trying, but she seemed burdened with an intractable mindset that wouldn't allow her to relax and "break free."
Enter this book about two months ago. Whoa! I don't know what she read in here that caused the change, but she has begun to take more initiative and my feelings of frustration are far less numerous these days. She was always attractive to me in a physical sense, but now she's oftentimes downright SEX-AY! ;)
Rating:  Summary: What More Can I Say? You HAVE to read it! Review: I received this book on 8/14 and read it almost completely that night while my husband was away. On the evening of 8/15 I tried just two of the techniques (of the very many!) from "give him a hand" chapter and afterwards, in his words, it was mind-blowing. Which totally made this the best purchase EVER as the title includes the words, "techniques that will blow his mind." My husband didn't even know I had this book (tho I did confess to him afterwards and now he can't wait to try the other techniques!!) I was skeptical at first as with any "here's how to" book, but this one truly has opened my eyes about a lot of things. I didn't know I could feel as confident as I could as a woman during love making.... I didn't know my man could be turned on with anal play... I didn't know I could turn him on with my hands the way I did.... or otherwise with techniques Lou has. I'm so happy with the book that I'm going to look for a website for her so I can tell her what a difference it's made to me - feeling more confident as a woman AND a lover. And I still have 95% of her suggestions to try out! My husband and I have a pretty exciting love life, but to have taken it to this level with just one reading and trying out just two of Lou's techniques....... well, you've got to get the book for yourself to see what I mean. I wasn't sure at first as I was reading it, but then when I put reading into reality on my husband......... that's all I needed to be convinced! I can't wait (and neither can he) for Round 2!! Enjoy and thanks, Lou!
Rating:  Summary: it's good Review: Reviewer: Pat Lewis (from LA) - See all my reviews
i like this book is easy to understand for who have never located a G-spot, or experienced female ejaculation, Dr. Ian glosses right over it like it is a fallacy, or isn't as good as the hype. It is NOT a fallacy and it IS THAT GOOD. So, as I said, this book is great for men who are beginners, who are extremely clueless, who need a jump start knowing anything about pleasing women.
I also recommended the best sex guide SEX AND THE PERFECT LOVER by MABEL IAM, just the best...
Rating:  Summary: what ? Review: The theories of How to Be a Great Lover don't hold up at all and seem to be based on nothing more that the author wishful thinking
Rating:  Summary: WOW! Review: There are hundreds of books like this on the market, not to mention 50 new magazine articles each month on "the ONE sex secret he's dying to tell you" etc. etc. Like many single women, I am addicted to the Cosmo articles, but you do reach a point where you feel like you've heard it all before. I bought this book for fun, expecting the same information but maybe with a slightly new twist. All I can say is WOW! Lou Paget presents fresh and original ideas to spice up your love life, and they really do work. This isn't a book of sexual positions. If you are like me, however, you probably know enough positions to hold you over for a while. And I've learned that a position is not nearly as important as how it's done. This book mostly focuses on foreplay. There is a chapter on intercourse, but it's mostly stuff I already knew. The information gathered from the rest of the book is far more important. Sex is better when you have incredible foreplay to lead up to it. Just one caveat: I never used to give my boyfriend hand jobs. I just didn't think I was very good at it. I mean, why do something that he can probably do better, right? Now that I've read this book and learned the techniques, my boyfriend actually asks for handjobs more often than sex. (if you start to have this problem, try the Italian Method, no man can turn down sex after that) ;)
Rating:  Summary: Okay...if you've never read a Cosmo Review: This book was well written and engaging, but I felt that it did not cover any new ground. Most of the techniques are the same type of thing that women's magazines cover monthly for only $3.50. I also thought that too much time was spent discussing such common knowledge things as proper condom use and STD's. If you are even remotely sexually experienced this book will not hold your interest.
Rating:  Summary: A clear and elegant introduction to the art of love-making Review: This is an excellent how-to sex guide primarily intented to help female lovers to make their man happy in the bedroom, but since the author was taught lots of tricks by a gay man, the book will also prove useful to gay men who want to be expert lovers.
The techniques are relatively simple and explained in a totally explicit AND clear way. There are excellent drawings for the dummies (buying a dildo in addition to the book will make it definitely easier to learn all the great hand jobs). Most of the book deals with things you do with your body: kissing, hand jobs, fellatio (oral sex), positions, etc. There is a chapter on sex toys and one on STDs. The tricks and techniques which are not physical (clothing, perfumes, etc.) are also covered but you will find more on this particular field of interest in "203 Ways to Drive a Man Wild in Bed" by Olivia St.Claire.
While Paget's approach is quite straightforward and focuses on techniques, she makes it very clear from the start that she favors the traditional sexual ethics. The whole discussion is based on the assumption that one has only one sexual partner (ie your beloved husband) and that the goal is life-long faithfulness. She does speak of her gay friend Brian but there are no references to gay sex in the book. It's all for straight couples. Another feature of the book is that it contains no hot stories to whet your desire to try the techniques and no "extreme" practices, although anal sex is also described and recommended.
Lou Paget basically teaches you to make love-making an art and to be slow, imaginative and careful, which is great. The language is elegant and not vulgar throughout, an outstanding quality in my view.
My only (strong) reservation concerns the chapter on STDs, which fails to tell readers the whole truth about AIDS. That a virus named HIV causes the complex of diseases conveniently labeled "AIDS" is only an hypothesis, and one that (in my view)has been successfully challenged by competent virologists such as Peter Duesberg of Berkeley University (on this read "Inventing the AIDS virus"). Recreational drugs, not sex, may be the real cause of all the trouble! It is also a shame that an author who claims to write on sexual matters and STDs should fail to point out the fact that HIV-tests produce tons of false positives and are thus quite, quite unreliable.
Lou Paget also neglects MMOs: male multiple orgasms, and speaks only of ejaculatory orgasms. As if Kinsey and more recently people like Mantak Chia had never revealed that MMOs exist and that males can have orgasm without ejaculation!
Nevertheless I highly recommend this book since it is what it claims to be: a manual that teaches you accessible techniques to increase sexual pleasure for men.
A word of caution: although most of the techniques are easy to learn, you may soon discover that trying them in real situations may feel somewhat awkward or artificial. In the end, I guess that for most readers only a few tricks will prove useful and feasible. So if you are a good lover already, just keep your money.
Rating:  Summary: Good Review: Two or more dirty details and erotic techniquereally DO work, but we had tried them before purchasing the book. They're the easiest to work with, and the most stress free.
Highly recommend this book ***** Five stars "Sex and the perfect lover by Mabel Iam". My lover seems pretty impressed and happy.
